And while we were there I met Dave who photographs cars and prints the images on T -shirts and who does Aerial Photography with his JDI helicopter-like drone camera system. WOW. You can’t go higher than 400 feet and you have to take it slow.

Getting it up and off the ground. It uses a GPS

Like a hobby toy airplane, Dave at the controls.

Looks like a UFO to me

Back to earth and then to the van to print

What a setup Dave had in his van

WOW, it is amazing.

Dave explains his display of a big show. Tonight’s show was small cause people were worried it might rain.

Dave was generous and took my photo with Donald. I think Donald was planning on adding a JDI hover drone camera to his wish list. Looks like a serious toy.

Photographing four kids together can be tricky and exasperating, trying to get everyone looking pleasant simultaneously.

The first photo is one solution. Take them from behind!

Seems easier with the distraction and props of shiny new cars at the Columbus Car Show. Pretty good cooperation. Especially when they weren’t really thinking about me and my camera! Listening to the finer points of this Mustang by Ford

Oops, losing their attention and interest in the specs.

Individual shots work- Anna takes a “test drive”

Another individual shot- Michael waves to me from the inside of a pick-up truck. Easy!

Jack leans into a curve.

Not the most natural smile in this one, Maura, but having a good time.

Seat all four on a large motorcycle. That was fun.

They were smiling and posing for their Dad in this one. He bought a couple of raffle tickets to win the Cobra, supporting Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Crawl into the back of some random car. Hey, everybody. Look at ole Grandma! Nice ambient light inside this vehicle.

The interior of the Rolls Royce. This was behind a barrier. No one got to touch it, let alone sit inside it.

It was George with the 1973 VW Thing from the Garfield Art Car Show last week who told me about the Oktoberfest today. Parked next to George was Lenny’s 1964 356 Outlaw Porsche. Lenny told me he spent 13 years restoring it. I should write out THIRTEEN so it sinks in. A labor of love. He’s a certified race flag waver who works at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, keeping the drivers safe by signaling with a flag, letting them know what is going on. Lenny has an article in the ARPCA (Allegheny Region Porsche Club of America) but I couldn’t find the specific link to it, sorry.
